and they said you can not hand in a fit note until job seeker allowance claim gone through even though welfare rights had said job centre would accept a fit note while appealing

Hi w,

You cannot present a fit note whilst also making a fresh claim for JSA.

To claim JSA you have to be fit to actively seek or take up employment.

A fit note states that you are unfit for work, hence the two are contradictory.

If you try and present a fit note to JSA, they may "play ESA/JSA ping pong" with you !

ok thanks but being able to do something reliably etc is a legal requirement if not a legality if i have phrased that right ok I gert it i think ! So prove he cannot do it reliably etc not say that they did not take that into consideration.I think i have it.Appreciate your time.Night night

I feel stupid asking this but here goes - i am going through your info on descriptors to help with appeal on my son s behalf and came upon bit about learning and driving included in it and he had a few lessons last year and we knew he could not do it but my aunt insisted anyway the instructor told him he had a brain that could not take in information or retain it - could a letter from driving instructor be of any use in appeal.I am cringing even asking but I am grasping at straws

Hi w,

Anything of that ilk that helps to show that he suffers from limitations that may fulfil the qualifying Activities should help.

I always take the view that if you have evidence which you feel may help with your case, but fail to submit it, the evidence cannot possibly be taken into account, can it !!
